DxD: Matsuda!

     I shake my head no,"My ass! I am not going to just get married to a random woman!....I already have my Valkyrie! So let's drop this subject and move on....."

     Issei jumps up,"Matsuda, but that woman was so hot! Why would you not even meet her?! Plus she looks like Rossweisse's older sister with light-blue hair! He-he-he and she is a bit bigger if you know what I am saying?!" He has that stranger danger look and everyone but Kris is just covering their mouths holding in their laughter at him. Out of nowhere, Rose hits him back into his chair, with a paper-fan!

     I sigh,"Issei my dense brother, I already have enough on my plate to deal with and adding drama from my adoptive father is not going to make my life easier! Look, I just got finished overextending myself and I need to take a break! So let's just get to your progress and planning....." I am probably looking very sad right now thinking of my sparkle-wife and how she will make my life more than interesting!

     Akeno, and Rias especially start laughing at me. Rias then takes her stab at me,"What did I say about turning down the charm! Oh and congratulations husband of the Devil King!" I just slump into my chair....

     Kiba sits up straight and Issei stands and points with a shaky finger,"Y-you married THAT Devil King?! The magical girl, hot cosplaying, Serafall Devil King?!" His world view has just crumbled.

     Just because I am done with Issei I say,"No it's the other one........" Wow is he really trying to think if there is another one?

     Rias, ignoring the comedy show, asks,"Matsuda, would it be alright to let Xenovia participate in my peerage just for the next rating game?" I personally don't mind and I think she would do better than Siris for this match, but I won't make that choice....

     I look to Xenovia and ask,"That just depends on the opinions of both Siris and Xenovia, what do you two girls think?" I just wait for their answers and look to see if they want this....

     Siris stands and looks into my eyes,"Lord Gremory, I believe Xenovia who was in the team first, would indeed provide a better chance of victory!" Then she blushes and says with less confidence,"And even if it is for a short time, being able to be your Knight would make me happy......" Now she finished all red? I have not even flirted with this woman! OK this is clearly my pure-blood devil Gremory powers at work...she must be a maiden...sigh!

     Xenovia stands with her fighting spirit over 9000,"It does not matter what peerage I fight in, I will always be your loyal Knight....Plus I really want to show them the power of my Lord's blade!" She is a battle nut so I thought she would want to fight with Kiba.

     Rias holds my neck with begging eyes,"See no matter what team they are in they are loyal to you!....I am just a secondary King...You're so loved!" Rias is putting on a fake pout!

     I just shrug and say,"If it makes everyone happy then I will support all of you! But you guys better win! However do not trade Kris out of your team for this fight! Issei will need her power-ups! Hah-aha! Also if the game they play is the same as in my visions, you will do better with Ravel than Asia...It should be more one-on-one and paired matches!" Kris puts her face in her hands and looks so ashamed at the thought of whipping out her boobs for her man's power!

     Rias whispered in my ear,"Thanks for keeping me from that horrible fate, ha-ha!" She then kissed me and went back to professional appearance.

     Ravel stands and reports,"Also lord Gremory, the last week was spent working on everyone's physical aspects as you requested, and spar's are saved for the dream-realm!" She puffs out her reasonable chest and Issei just glares at them like a hungry fat man would at a hamburger!

     I look to Rose,"I need the gravity seals on my limbs to be increased dear if you would?" I hold up the magic runes on my wrist and ankles for her to change with her Norse magic. The gravity clothing became obsolete when I stepped into Ultimate-class, so we put magic circles on my body that I can remove at a moment's notice.

     Ravel then continued,"Also it was proposed to the Gremory family to have a warm-up fight between King's Matsuda Gremory vs Riser Phenex as a promotional rematch...This seems to be highly supported by fans after your first rating game match with my brothers team....." I am confused....Did I not already show I could easily beat him?

     I squint my eyes and ask,"Why in the Underworld would I want to do something with no benefit to me or my family?" Yup seems stupid...well having a match with me would be suicide for him with Grayfia at my side!

     Rias just sighs and says without enthusiasm,"Some of the top noble family's know of your transformation and wish to see how well you could fight without using outside tools or your balance breakers. Also it is because you were forced out of my team and the fans really want to see you.....This is purely politics. Also the fans of Riser feel that he was unfairly beaten by you using the holy verses on him?!"

     Ravel adds,"My brother had stopped doing rating games and has lost his motivation, so our family wanted to let the Underworld see that my brother has changed." Ravel looks torn due to one side being her family and one side being her new peerage.

     Rias says to me,"We have been invited to talk terms under the table to find terms good for both families." She is giving me the look like I should go.

     I look at Grayfia and Coriana and they both nod as I should go. I then say,"So when do we meet the Phenex?" This event is not in the anime for sure!

     Rias just puts on a smile and says,"Tonight, we will both go and we will take Mother, Ravel, Coriana, and of course Grayfia." Why is my gear telling me I am getting scammed here? Ravel looks happy to meet her mother again I suppose.....

     About five pm, Japan time, we gathered our small group and Grayfia brought us to the Gremory main home.............

     After arriving we all split up to go and be clothed in noble attire suitable for meeting members of another house.

     While Grayfia was getting me ready she spoke to me,"I know you hate surprises, but tonight please keep an open mind! Venelana, Rias, and I have come up with a solution for your rating game team make up. I promised to not spill the secret, but you're my man and King, so I want you to be ready! So don't give me those blaming eyes silly." She swatted the top of my head. My gear is telling me it is side quest time, but it looks like they have been working on something behind the scenes of this promotion match....

     I say,''This better not be about Ravel joining my peerage or my harem, because she is a hard no!" Grayfia smiles at me and shakes her head no. OK then I can handle anything!

     Coriana is wearing her business suit for a meeting as my manager, while Grayfia is still in her maid mode. Rias and Venelana are wearing matching white dresses. I am wearing a white business suit like the one Zeoticus wore in the anime....Seems like Venelana chose his wardrobe seeing as how I am dressed like him now!

     On a side note, Rias's grandfather who is Chysis' husband is still alive, but he is off doing fun things in the human world. I guess I will meet him in the future....

     Venelana told us some things to remember when we arrive at the Phenex castle....This is not a private meeting but a nobles gathering due the Phenex business boom from the terrorist attacks in all factions. Because the Hero faction has been attacking all forces, their Phoenix tears can't meet up with the demand and they have made a nice profit. Naturally this has given the house a needed boost. On top of negotiating for the duel for the event. We will make deals with houses attending the party.

     Rias, Ravel, Coriana, and myself will try to gather more support. Now that I am in my new position, I must attend the gatherings of the logic driven vultures. We are devils and not humans, so my kind human heart has to make some concessions, as far as business goes. So we then left for Risers home.......

     It took about seven portals to get here due to how far away the main estate is.....And it is fucking HUGE!!!! Their castle is like five times bigger than the Gremory mansion! I thought our home was too big...Nope this place is making our home look like a cottage.

     Ravel covers her mouth and giggles,"Lord Gremory, it seems everyone here has seen my home but you...Your expression is nice!" Hey look at its Tsun-Tsun hot wings, the annoying girl is back!

     Rias pulls my arm and says,"Let us go in ha-ha..." I really hate the rating game promoters, for pushing for this Show Match.....
